Basically, this means different people are able to walk right around the screen and actually see around corners or even better – behind objects. According to a representative, this is what he had to say about this revolutionary new display, “This display lets you watch video from 57 different angles. And no matter which angle you're viewing from, you can see a Full High Definition resolution image.

Nissan plug-in hybrid coming your way

It is rather interesting that Nissan has no hybrid vehicle yet – although they already have released their rather successful Nissan LEAF some time ago. Well, I guess that Japanese automobile manufacturer Nissan wants to bring the best of both worlds to you in the form of a hybrid vehicle, where this new plug-in people mover will not only improve product fuel efficiency, but also lower its environmental footprint. According to Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn, Nissan will be investing 70% of its annual research and development budget on environmental technologies in the coming half decade.

Pavegen tiles rely on footsteps to generate power

Take a look at the documentary of any large cities and buzzing metropolises, and chances are you will see a swarm of humanity who walk around most of the day, being busy getting from one destination to the other. Ever wondered the potential of collecting all the energy generated through walking alone. That is what the kinetic energy harvesting Pavegen tiles were created for – to deliver a new method of collecting energy just in case there is an energy crisis sometime down the road. These new tiles are the brainchild of Pavegen Systems director Lawrence Kembell-Cook, where footsteps are all you need.

Fifth Gear pits Audi RS3 against BMW 1 Series M Coupe

It seems the press is bent on brewing up a rivalry brewing between the BMW 1 Series M Coupe and the Audi RS3. As you may recall, AutoExpress recently pitted the pint-sized Germans against each another in a drag race. Now, Fifth Gear lined up both machines for a one-lap battle with Tiff Needell driving the 1M and Mark Higgins piloting the Audi RS3. Higgins recently set a four-wheel lap record around the Isle of Man TT course (and pulled off one of the hairiest saves we've ever seen in the process).
